  • Yield: 12 small pancakes

Description

These delightful pancakes are specifically designed for your baby’s first solid food journey, offering a soft texture and natural sweetness. They are easy for little hands to grasp and packed with wholesome goodness.


Ingredients

  • 1 very ripe medium banana, mashed
  • 1 large egg (or 1 flax egg for egg-free)
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat/gluten-free blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted melted butter or neutral oil (plus more for cooking)
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons pureed fruit or finely grated veggies

Instructions

  • Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Whisk in the egg and milk until well combined.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
  • Gently Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • Cook Pancakes: Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Drop 1-2 tablespoon portions of batter onto the hot surface. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Cool and Serve: Transfer cooked pancakes to a wire rack to cool. Ensure they are at a safe temperature and cut into finger-sized pieces before serving to your baby.
